Finalist
- vabriʼēl

Vabriel was very creative when it came to interpreting our brief for a band t-shirt in an artistic way - creating a dark, lino cut style design that really appealed to our more metal-leaning fan. Quick to respond to questions and incorporate feedback, we would happily recommend Vabriel to others!

- Crooked Fiddle Band

Finalist

99designs is the #1 marketplace for graphic design, with some of the most talented and creative designers in the world! If you're reading this... you probably know that :)

What inspires you and how do you envision the design for your business?

99designs is moving into a new office in Melbourne and we want YOU to design a big mural on the walls of our new boardroom.

We are open to all concepts and want to see lots of creativity.

*** Skyline idea ***
To get you started, one idea we have is to extend the skyline that is visible from the window in the boardroom. So that the skyline flows from the physical view out the window, to an abstract view on the wall.
- From the "view from boardroom window" photo, you can see that AAMI park stadium is visible.
- From the "view from roof showing skyline" photo, you can see the rest of Melbourne's skyline with annotations. The buildings to the right of AAMI park can't be seen from the window, but could be illustrated on the walls to the right. E.g. Eureka tower, Arts spire, Federation Square, Melbourne Cricket Ground.
- I've attached bigger photo examples of each of these buildings so you can see their key features.

- Another idea is the "Melbourne cup", a famous horse race once a year that is famous around the world

- Melbourne is also famous for coffee :)

*** Other ideas ***

The Skyline idea is just one idea, we are totally open to ALL mural ideas and see more examples below.

See this site for more inspiration: http://www.creativebloq.com/agencies/office-murals-2131981

*** Style ***
We're looking for something to showcase the full creativity of our design community. Be as creative as you can. An abstract illustration is what we have in mind.

If you're looking to recreate the skyline, then we DO NOT want it to be photo-realistic. It also does not need to be in correct proportion or include all buildings. It could be as simple as 1 colour, or be very colourful. See our San Francisco office mural.

The example murals are just examples. They SHOULD NOT be copied directly. Perhaps the skyline could come apart as it moves from left to right, like it's disintegrating or coming apart.

We want you to have full creative freedom so let your creative juices flow!

*** Dimensions ***
The main wall is 3.5m wide and there is also a side wall that is 2.6m wide that can also be used to create a mural that wraps over two walls. The mural should be no more than 1.5m tall on either wall.

See attached "boardroom wall diagram" for a better idea.

Other notes

*** Bonus ***
We'd like to paint this mural onto our boardroom wall. If the winning designer can prove that they have experience painting murals, we may offer to fly the winner to our office in Melbourne to paint the mural in person!

This will be discussed directly with the winner after the contest is awarded and any offer or decision to engage the winning designer to paint the mural will be made solely at the discretion of 99designs. We DO NOT guarantee that the winner will be offered the painting opportunity - but it would be pretty cool!

*** File types ***

Ideally your design will be a vector file but if it's going to be non-vector then the file must be at least 300 DPI as there is the possibility that we'll print the mural onto canvas.
